If you have been following my blog, you know that I love a hand-written note. Well, to be honest, I actually love any kind of note whether it be an email, a card or a text message to say hello, thank you or I love you. Hence “Ann Written Notes” as the name of this bloggy blog. Anyways, this past week, Rick and I received a few great thank you notes that I wanted to share.

Being in the hotel business, Rick and I want to make sure that our friends and family have great hotel stays and overall, a memorable and inviting experience while in Chicago. And it’s a perfect tag team: Rick knows how to take are of people at his hotel (I guess being in the business for 30 years has taught him a few things). And I know how to take care of people in our home (ahem, we have an extra bedroom and I love having dinner parties and serving Moscow mules…come on over!). Getting notes like the below is exactly why we love doing what we do. God didn’t make a mistake when he brought us together…we LOVE the hospitality business! And we love making people happy 🙂

And to that, I wanted to offer you a little challenge for this weekend: Write someone you love a card. Write a note to your boss to say thank you. Write a note to an old friend just to say hi. I promise they will love it and you will bring a smile to their face 🙂
